MINIMIZING GLOBAL WARMING Global Warming is when the earth heats up, the temperature rises. It happens when greenhouse gasses like carbon dioxide, water vapour, nitrous oxide and methane trap heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere, which increases the temperature. One thing that causes Global Warming is electrical pollution. We use fossil fuels that are burned in creating electricity. Fossil fuels such as oils and petroleum are sent to the air when fossil fuels are burned. We use

2011). At the rate of oil being used it is unable to replace itself in the natural process.

When this happens the atmosphere breaks into little holes, through those holes the rays of the sun pass
